Abstract

Many of the current ideas on leadership and management are grounded in theories that find their origins in ancient and recent philosophical and religious sources. The stories and images stemming from these traditions have become firmly embedded in our conscious and our subconscious mind and, we believe, are also exerting a clear influence on modern corporate culture, irrespective of whether people are religious or not. We hope that by returning to the source and the source texts we can deepen the understanding of certain important ideas and notions which affect our present thinking. In this book we go back in history to answer the question: How can one act wisely in the spirit of the present age?
